Description
Hi everyone. My name is Lê. I am a full time mom of 3 kids. We have just moved from the countryside to city because there are much opportunities of studying here, although we prefer the quite and natural lifestyle.
My family like to travel. But we mostly travel inside Vietnam. We rarely to travel abroad. Me and my husband are afraid of language barrier. We really want this will not happen with our kids in the future. That's why we want to teach them new languages from young age to be more adaptable, confident, as well as open more opportunities in their education and career.
On Sunday weekend, I normally take them to the Old quarter - the tourist attraction in Hanoi, to chat with random foreigners we meet in the lake. This is the way they practice English and Chinese to be more fluently, naturally and confidently. We really like the stories they share with us on their travelling. One of their story is about workaway and how volunteers and host family meet for language and culture exchange. We want to be a member of this program, so our children can connect with people and learn more about the world.

You can go to the market with me and then I will teach you cook Vietnamese dishes. I am pretty good at cooking, included vegetarian foods.
